MODERATORS
I would imagine it is as follows:
Come up with ideas or goal to accomplish /be given said goal
spend large amount of time looking at existing code or prior implementation of your stated goal.
attempt to write or import some code tailored to your specific needs
test and identify problem areas
find everything fails spectacularly and start over +/- tears.
repeat until successful or dead
